What does the governing body do?
Each school has a governing body which comprises members of the local community, parents, teachers, staff and representatives of the Local Authority.
The governing body is responsible for a wide range of duties, including promoting high standards of educational achievement, managing the finances of the school, writing the school development plan, overseeing school policies on everything from safeguarding to headlice, hiring staff and dealing with any disciplinary issues.

Communication between Governing Body and Parents
The Governing Body wants to make communication with parents as effective as possible.
Parent Governors: Parent governors represent the interests of parents. If you have a matter you would like the Governing Body to discuss, you can raise this with one of the parent governors in the first instance (please note any and all complaints should be directed to the Headteacher not to the Parent Governors).
Formal Meetings on Request: Parents may request up to three formal meetings with the Governing body a year (please see the council website for information or email the Chair of the Board of Governors for advice on the formal process).
Annual Meeting with Parents: Following the very constructive meeting held at the school on 27th June 2018 it was decided that the Chair of Governors will arrange an annual meeting in the summer term to present a report and discuss progress of the school with parents.
Annual Report: In addition to face-to-face meetings, the Governors produce a report once a year.
